Note: Please wait to detail your project idea in Question 2. Limit ~200 Words

Native pollinator populations are largely under pressure because of habitat loss, and home gardens and other greenspaces can be managed differently to provide habitat; for example, through pesticide-free green space management, which Macdonald campus adheres to. " “[O]f the 100 crop species that provide 90 per cent of the world’s food, over 70 are pollinated by bees”. To put it simply, we need bees if we are to continue to grow the food we eat. This quote from Mr. Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary-General and UNEP Executive Director, United Nations Environment Programme, […] is a good summary of why bee health should be important to all Canadians. " (Extract from: https://sencanada.ca/Content/SEN/Committee/412/agfo/rep/rep09may15-e.pdf). There are more than 500 species of native bees in Eastern Canada. Native bees (and other pollinators) provide an extremely important service in our ecosystem. Many of the foods and crops we rely on benefit from native bee pollination. Bees move large amounts of pollen between flowering plants, thus pollinating flowers, leading to great seed and fruit production. About half of the world’s plant species depend upon animals, like bees, for pollination. Some plants require a specific native bee for proper pollination. [E.g, tomatoes can only be effectively pollinated by Bumblebees]. "(Extract from: https://conservationhalton.ca/help-native-bees)

McGill University’s Macdonald Campus is invested in teaching, studying and innovating in the field of environmental sustainability. John Abbott College teaches a full range of CEGEP level programs and is also invested in taking a leadership role in reducing its environmental impact. For example, they created a sustainability position (Shannon Coulter-Low fills this), and in 2010-2012 they build the LEED gold certified Anne-Marie Edward Building. This Pollinator Habitat project would be a new joint campus sustainability project; bringing these two campus communities together, we hope to foster other sustainability collaborations. We also aim to showcase how best to support wild bees and other pollinators, so that our staff and students can be ambassadors for their own communities. Native pollinator populations are largely under pressure because of habitat loss, and home gardens and other greenspaces can be managed differently to provide habitat; for example, through pesticide-free green space management, which Macdonald campus adheres to. Within several different initiatives outside this project, native species habitat is being created, for example through the planting of native nectaring trees and shrubs this past fall, a project that went ahead while following safety protocols for COVID. As part of this native pollinator project, permanent signage at John Abbott and Macdonald would educate visitors about how to care for bees and

other insects. In particular, we would like to inform people how they can do more by choosing low-cost and more effective solutions to support native bees than the store-bought bee homes that often don’t provide ideal conditions and can lead to greater bee mortality, as well as promote the planting of native plant species. Ground nesting and cavity nesting habitat would be created with logs/created snags with drilled holes and through small bare-ground sections of well drained soil for ground nesting species. We would also engage students on the two campuses by hosting monitoring and habitat cleaning and maintenance sessions in the spring and fall, that could either be run with a general call for volunteers (this is the plan for 2021) or associated with particular classes (courses with possible overlap: AEBI 210, ENVB 210, ENTO 340, ENTO 440, PLNT 460, WILD 401). This would also be an opportunity for McGill students to gain practice leading more junior students, since CEGEP students are at the grade 12-13 and freshmen level. Long-term documentation of this project would come from the McGill University Herbarium. The monitoring protocol and habitat designs have oversight from Dr. Gail MacInnis, a pollination biologist.

Each Spring and Fall semester the arthropod pollinators present at Macdonald Campus gardens/re-wilded locations will be monitored. During the Fall observations, students will also perform maintenance on the nests to reduce infestations of mites and fungal diseases that can cause morbidity or mortality of the pollinators. This is done by cleaning or replacing the paper tubes that line the cavity nests, ensuring that any pathogens or pests are not transferred to subsequent populations. Data produced will be shared via iNaturalist and be maintained by the Herbarium. Currently five John Abbott College instructors plan to bring their classes to the habitats (approximately seven classes with ~30 students). A higher level of involvement will be from the two student clubs which will host Copyright © 2018 McGill University Sustainability Projects Fund · 1010 Sherbrooke Street West, Suite 1200, Montréal, QC, Canada H3A 2R7 · www.mcgill.ca/sustainability/spf

these pollinator habitats; the JAC Harvest club (12 students currently) and the McGill based Permaculture Club (5 executive members). Volunteer student leadership posibilities for leading the JAC classes would be advertised for McGill students through the OSAS by Ingrid Chiraz and other platforms as needed. Educational signs will be installed. Pollinator id guides will be printed with the intention that they will be used over several years.

This project will be promoted at different stages via established Macdonald Campus venues, and will be included as part of a McGill Earthday virtual event (April 25th, 2021) coordinated by the , which will showcase the University's gardens. For the instillation of habitats and signs, a call will be made for voluneteers via the Mac Mouthpeice and the Macdonald facebook page, and through the McGill Purmiculture Club’s social media accounts. This club has many members on the downtown campus as well as at Macdonald. This strategy may be modified depending on COVID restrictions in place at the time, and instillation of the habitats could be made by the applicants of this grant (if permitted) as an alternitive to student volunteers. The project will be featured on the Agricultural and Environemntal Science sustainability website, and via the Mac Connections publication. As this project is planned to include a long term monitoring aspect, other venues for promotion may be used in the future as well.

9. If applicable, are there any training, volunteer opportunities, jobs, or complementary applied student research integrated in your project? Please describe. Limit ~100 Words

One of the goals is to establish a standardized data collection of pollinator populations on the Macdonald Campus. By doing so, we will create a dataset that will become more and more valuable as time goes by for student projects, for example, for AES honours research projects. To maintain consistancy with the data collection, the coordination of the collection will be through the McGill Natural Collections (jointly the McGill Herbrium, which has a long standing engagement of student volunteers and the Lyman Entomological Museum, which has great expertise in entomology) volunteers will be trained and supervised by the MNHC.

Hi Lindsay,

Just want to make sure I am interpreting the legend for the location of signs correctly. My understanding is that the yellow dot indicates an actual bee colony site, and the brown dot indicates a sign only. This is important because if a brown dot indicates a site of a bee colony, then the one at the end of the Farm road is not sustainable.

I have no issues with the location of the signs on the Farm as long as the brown one is near the corner of the field (closer to the 3-way stop) so it does not impede our ability to access the field from the Farm road.

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Lindsay,

This project is rather small and we may not need to bring it up for discussion at the sub- Committee on Physical Facilities. Based on the description of the project, the pollinator habitats will be by the Community Garden on the main Campus and on the Farm. If it is indeed the case, I suggest that you get in touch with Franco Nardi and Paul Meldrum for their feedback. Once I receive their info, I will then decide if it has to be brought up to the Committee.

Hi Adam and Franco,

I hope this finds you well.

Dr. Frieda Beauregard and a team at both Macdonald Campus and John Abbott College are seeking to install some Native Pollinator Habitats on campus in the coming year.

We have received a grant of $1000 from the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF) and are seeking additional funding from the McGill Sustainability Project Fund (application submitted and under review). Details of the project application are attached for your reference.

We would like to ask for the approval of CPDO and the Mac Campus Care Team in terms of the habitat and signage sites, which can be seen in detail on the 4th attachment to this e-mail. The locations for the ground nesting spots and logs (ORANGE) are suggested and could easily be adjusted, whereas the three main locations would be more ‘fixed’ (YELLOW).

We would be happy to schedule a meeting to discuss if need be. Please do not hesitate to let us know if you have any questions or concerns about the proposed locations for the habitats and signage.

Hi Lindsay, Congrats with this project. Pollinators are very much welcome to any location on the main lower campus other than some limitations with regards to the placement of signage which can be reviewed before installation. As for the farm, Paul’s approval and comment are most definitely required.
